You must be fucking joking!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It's enough to make me lose my sense of humor, but we survived through it!! It's great to have a geni.
So, a topic of discussion has risen amongst my friends and I about these studios doing, $10, $13 and $50 tattoos on stupid gimmicks like Friday the 13th, Halloween and Breast Cancer ribbons. Tattoos that cheap don't even pay for the set up, the equipment being used. If a studio or an artist has to cheapen themselves that low to make money, there's a real problem. Maybe they need to take a hard look at the way they do business, or their superior attitude keeping them from getting work. That would be my first thought. Studios that do gimmicks put a bad name on our craft, it shows that all they care about is the "money". They don't care if they're doing quality work or setting a standard. They don't care if their cutting corners in their sterilization or prep, they just wanna get you in and out, like an assembly line. Serious people looking for serious work don't seak out artists who cheapen themselves with deals, breaks and trades. What we do as tattoo artists is a perfected craft that demands respect and when the artists themselves don't respect it, how do they expect anyone to take them serious?
That's my lil rant for the month. I should probably go around to every studio that does this dumb shit and thank them, it allows me to get connect with the serious collectors and do major work.
